givenchy pre-fall 2012

2012-01-09T17:56:00.000-08:00

no one could argue that my obsession with givenchy is beginning to border on ridiculous but with riccardo tisci churning out collection after collection full of mesmerizing creations how could i possibly be anything but obsessed? if you haven't caught the givenchy bug yet just check out the pre-fall collection...those boots alone made my heart skip a beat.

outfit of the day: luxe basics

2012-01-03T16:58:00.000-08:00

first things first, i hope that everyone is having a fabulous new year! secondly, when i spotted this givenchy skirt on the barneys site i immediately decided it was time for an outfit collage. et voila a simple but of so luxurious ensemble is born.

riccardo tisci follows up an amazing spring 2012 collection with an equally amazing ad campaign. who can deny the genius of maria carla and gisele flanked by brooding male models on a moody beach in a scene that sort of screams 'point break'? that's right... no one.

helmut lang pre-fall 2012

2011-12-13T20:53:00.000-08:00

theysken's theory pre-fall

2011-12-10T09:53:00.001-08:00

suffice it to say that olivier theysken's can do no wrong. if you need proof just take a look at his latest on point collection for theysken's theory. with all the black, perfectly cut blazers and teeny tiny shorts this is certainly a collection after my own heart.

vanessa bruno always manages to cast the ideal girls to represent her line. replacing french beauties lou doillon and valentine fillol cordier, kate bosworth with her flawless pale skin and blonde locks is a perfect fit for the nordic inspired fall collection.

the vampire ball

2011-10-06T08:34:00.000-07:00

leave it to carine roitfeld to throw the hottest party of paris fashion week. last year it was the masked ball to celebrate paris vogue's 90th anniversary and this year the fashion set flocked (with protracted fangs and blood red lips) to her bal des vampires. here are a few of my favorite looks from the evening...

surf's up at givenchy

2011-10-04T09:47:00.000-07:00

from the a-list model cast (hello gisele!) to the couture details the givenchy show was nothing short of amazing. instead of loading up on spring prints riccardo tisci chose monochromatic ensembles and focused on tailoring which made for a perfect, easily wearable collection. my love affair continues...

alber's angels at lanvin

2011-10-02T11:54:00.000-07:00

perhaps one of the reasons i love paris shows is the fact that regardless of the season you're bound to see lot's of black. the spring lanvin collection is a perfect example...which doesn't come as a surprise since alber based his designs on an angel in hell. slinky separates, strong sexy dresses and dreamy sheer tulle captured all of my desires and made for another captivating collection.

my favorite street style snaps from fashion week so far. of course christine centenerra would be rocking givenchy, can't wait to see more of her spot on ensembles.

2011-09-16T14:22:00.000-07:00

if the jewelry itself wasn't enough to convince you that the latest manimania collection is nothing short of amazing then perhaps abbey lee might change your mind. the peroxide blond beauty stars as the face of the surrealist inspired, psychedelic collection titled "the third mind"

a winning formula at theysken's theory

2011-09-14T13:49:00.000-07:00

for spring olivier theysken's brought the downtown cool aesthetic to the runway. from drop waist dresses to slouchy cropped pants the new york girl attitude translated with ease and the result was yet another fabulous collection.

helmut lang hits the runway

2011-09-12T12:47:00.000-07:00

helmut lang returned to the catwalk this season in full minimal glory. set against a backdrop of cement floors and exposed pipes the spring collection was full of the brand's signature layering, draping and asymmetry. sharply cut jackets, clingy comfy dresses and slouchy trousers all had me saying "yes please"

if i could choose one statement accessory for fall it would be a leather harness...i'm having a slight obsession. nothing too fancy (i'll leave that to lady gaga) but a simple basic black number would be just right. the queen of leather harnesses, zana bayne, makes one that totally fits the bill...

freja for isabel

2011-08-18T14:19:00.000-07:00

freja beha joins the ranks of kate and gisele as the new face of isabel marant. the danish beauty looks perfect...as always. they couldn't have picked a better girl!

sheer brilliance

i've been on the hunt for the right sheer maxi skirt for far too long and i'm experiencing serious outfit envy after seeing these perfectly executed snaps of bianca and anja.surprisingly, i love that both ladies paired their ensembles with flats (i guess when you have mile long model legs you can get away with doing such things)

on my mind

2011-08-11T08:36:00.000-07:00

in case you weren't aware i'm a big fan of collages...i mean who isn't? it's great to have all the items you are lusting after in one place where you can see them. that said here are a few things i'm in the mood for this fall...

*clockwise from left

1. i've been on a search for a perfect new leather jacket. something that's not too bulky and not too cropped. yes, something exactly like this asymmetrical helmut lang number would be nice.
2. a new addition to my arm party is always welcome. i've had my eye on this studded gold cc skye bangle for far too long.

3. a daintier alternative to the standard mcqueen skull ring...perfect for everyday wear.

4. i love the colors, the textures and the silhouettes of the entire pre-fall celine collection and if i can't have it all in my closet it can at least serve as inspiration.

5. color blocking and leopard print courtesy of isabel marant. i can easily see this becoming my uniform

6. do i really need to give an explanation for these theysken's theory wedges? they're OMBRÉ

for goodness sakes.

7. last but not least...evenings in los angeles are certainly something i'm looking forward too.

keep it clutch

2011-08-09T16:23:00.000-07:00

i've been getting lost in the style.com accessories index again...it's really a marvelous place the only downside is that now i'm coveting the entire fall givenchy bag collection (shocking i know) although if i can't have everything one of these little clutches surely will do.

attache moi

2011-08-06T15:34:00.000-07:00

Fashion is a cruel mistress so it should come as no surprise that fetish is having a resurgence. Be it on the fall runways (Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and McQueen to name a few)or in the latest editorials it seems there's a certain naughtiness on people's mind. Case in point this epic editorial shot by Tom Munro for the August issue of Numero. In the dark light Aymeline Valade is sultry and seductive clad in head to toe black ensembles paired with sensuous red lips and an occasional flash of skin. This is what I like to call editorial gold!

2011-08-04T14:34:00.000-07:00

i'm sick of waiting for summer in san francisco and am moving on to thinking about fall. the beginning of a new season calls for a refreshing of the wardrobe and staple items are always the best place to start.the latest A.L.C collection (much like the others) is full of perfectly engineered essentials that certainly fit the bill. from the silhouettes to the color palette these are pieces i want to live in.

an oldie but a goodie this little paris vogue layout is circa 2008 back when carine was still at the helm (yes i admit that i miss her name at the top of the masthead). fashion may be an industry where trends change at an increasing rate but this perfectly styled shoot is proof positive that some things (head to toe black and masculine touches for example) never go out of style.

christophe decarnin may not be at the helm of balmain but that doesn't mean the house isn't serving the same caliber of rock'n'roll goodness. the perfectly cut smoking jackets, heavily embroidered minis and louche, slouchy pants in olivier rousteing's debut collection are a clear indication that balmania isn't going anywhere.

in case dion lee's debut at the sydney opera house last spring didn't catch your attention here is further proof that the australian newbie designer isn't just a one hit wonder. his follow up collection is chock full of structural tailoring, skin baring cut outs, sheer overlays, corset detailing and my personal favorite a hint of red (more on that obsession to follow)

the spring ad campaigns may have been out for a while but none continue to captivate me more than the iselin and kinga cat fight for lanvin. from dresses to decor the images ooze glamour.

christopher bailey's latest feat for burberry prorsum was inspired by swinging london supermodel jean shrimpton and the sixties influence was apparent. while he did bring back those expertly tailored flared pants i fell head over heels for in the pre-fall collection it was clear that the coat ruled the show. weather military inspired, cropped to the body or nipped at the waist it came in an extensive range of colors and fabrics once again solidifying the fact that outerwear is the burberry strongsuit.

feminine mystique

antonio berardi's fall 2011 collection is all woman with a little edge. trim fur coats, lace detailed tops and tailored, ankle grazing pants were effortlessly chic and undeniably appealing. not to mention they came in a palette of all my favorite colors (black, white and gray of course!)

as always fashion wunderkind alexander wang stayed true to his signature "cool girl" aesthetic but my favorite aspect of the latest collection was the slashed ribbon detailing on silky skirts and tops that mingled with cozy, luxe knits...

a few of my favorite looks from helmut lang fall 2011. loving the layering of tough, structured jackets with soft, slinky skirts.

boho chic is having a moment...at least judging by the latest collection from australian jewelry label mania mania which was inspired by Reve, a free-spirited gypsy who roamed the underworld of post-war Paris and played muse to many artists of our time. it's only fitting that the look book stars miss abbey lee, the modern bohemian love child.

it's no secret that since his instatement as creative director of burberry prorsum in 2009 christopher bailey has been churning out covetable outerwear like clock work. need i remind you of the shearling aviator jacket? his reinvention of the label's iconic trench? or perhaps these studded leather stunners...

just like a woman

my adoration of lanvin continues. for the pre-fall collection alber played on the idea of evening as day wear and in an age where dressing up has been thrown to the way side what could be more refreshing? my favorite of course is the unexpected combination of an ivory, washed silk floor-skimming skirt paired with a cozy ribbed sweater. indulge...

there is something dark and enchanting about this victorian inspired editorial. the frothy frocks, languid air and palatial setting bring to mind a modern day marie antoinette.

i feel it's only fitting to welcome a new year by recalling the greatness of the past. these photos are from an alexander mcqueen tribute editorial styled by carine roitfeld- two iconic individuals who have continuously been an inspiration to me. here is to 2011- the year of vision

christopher bailey's work for burberry prorsum never fails to impress. the pre-fall collection was 180 degree turn from the biker chic attire he showcased for spring. studs and skinny's were replaced with sumptuous outerwear trimmed in fur, impeccably tailored flared trousers and the perfect tuxedo (not just for the boys). here are my favorites...in head to toe black of course.

digging the styling in this jalouse editorial...nothing screams glam rock like the combination of fur and bare skin. plus those leopard zannoti wedges have kind of been haunting my dreams.

tomorrow is the day...and i can just feel it in my soul that this lanvin/H&M collaboration will include a flawlessly designed jumpsuit (exclusively for me)

obsessing over this editorial from the october issue of paris vogue styled by the one and only carine roitfeld in celebration of the glossies' 90th anniversary. there is something insanely romantic about masks...mix that with a touch of fetish (plus a hint of Givenchy) and you have an infallible concept.
